Vision Statement
Energetic, purposeful, creative, Central Florida Community College promotes learning in an
open, caring, inclusive environment which encourages individual and community development

requiring professional and technical training; encourages student success through a variety of
support services; and promotes the economic, social and cultural development of the community.
Guiding Principles and Major Directions
To guide the college in the pursuit of its vision, four major directions have been developed.
Each year, a set of college goals is developed for each major direction, and all annual planning

3. We will strive to exceed the expectations of those we serve.
4. We will strive in all our actions to honor the public trust placed in us by our community.

and conserving our resources for future generations.
Major Directions:
To provide accessible, affordable, high quality learning opportunities
which meet students’ lifelong learning needs.
To provide a caring environment which supports learning and development.

History
Central Florida Junior College was established
in 1957 when community leaders and citizens
envisioned an educational resource that would help
Marion, Citrus and Levy counties to grow and
prosper. With foresight and determination those
community leaders planted the seed that has
become the educational hub of the tri-county area.
In 1958, Hampton Junior College opened as
one of the first black, two-year colleges in the
state, and in 1966 the colleges merged. The name
was changed to Central Florida Community
College in 1971 to reflect more accurately the
character and purpose of the college serving a
larger community.
The Ocala Campus was established on a
60-acre tract donated by Atlantic Realty and
Investment Company and the city of Ocala and
over time has grown to include 140 acres. The
attractive campus is at a crossroads of the
growing community, between downtown Ocala
and Interstate 75 on State Road 200. The campus
has been recognized by Marion County for its
beautiful grounds.
In 1982, the Bronson Center opened on a 20-acre
site east of Bronson. In 1993, the campus was
relocated to the Levy Center in Chiefland, where
services and enrollment continue to climb.
The college also offered classes in Citrus County
for many years before partnering with the Citrus
County School Board to establish an educational
complex in Lecanto in 1984. To accommodate a
growing need, a free-standing campus opened in
1996 on 88 acres in Lecanto. Ten acres have been
added to the Citrus Campus, which continues to
expand credit and noncredit course offerings.
CFCC’s Hampton Center opened in 1996 on
the site of the former Florida State Fire College in
west Ocala. The facility was completely rebuilt and
reopened in 2004. The Hampton Center is an
important presence in the west Ocala area,
offering health occupations courses and community
outreach programs.
The college maintained a partnership interest
in the Appleton Museum of Art of Central Florida
Community College for more than a decade
before accepting full responsibility for operations in
2004. The museum has become even more of a
teaching and learning institution, offering classes
and tours, and helping to serve the cultural needs
of the community.
In the last decade, the college has renovated
several key buildings and added others that have
changed the face of the Ocala Campus. The
University Center, Ewers Century Center and
Webber Center Gallery serve students and the
community. Renovations to the C. Farris Bryant
Student Union and the Fine Arts Auditorium have
provided state-of-the-art technology and studentfriendly facilities. The oldest building on campus is
undergoing renovations and was renamed
Founders Hall in 2007.
11

of the college November 11, 1996. Dr. James H.
Hinson, Jr., was interim president from February 18
to November 9, 1996. Dr. William J. Campion held
the presidency from March 1, 1987, until February
16, 1996, succeeding Dr. Henry E. Goodlett, who in
January of 1966 replaced Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce,
appointed in May of 1960. The District Board of
Trustees named Dr. Goodlett President Emeritus
upon his retirement.
Charles H. Hamblen, Jr., served as acting
president between the resignation of Dr. Kenneth
R. Williams in early 1960 and the appointment
of Dr. Fordyce. Dr. Williams had assumed his
duties on January 1, 1958, soon after the Florida
Legislature established the college in 1957.
College operations are governed by the Central
Florida Community College District Board of

In order to maintain the college ideals of scholarship and demeanor, the right is reserved to deny
admission to applicants for any reason which is
deemed to be in the best interest of the college.
After admission, subsequent registration for
currently enrolled and former students is permitted
when all college obligations have been satisfied.
When limited facilities or programs restrict the
size of enrollment, admission to the college will be
granted in the order in which applications have been
received by the Office of Admissions and Records.
Exceptions to this rule, e.g. Associate in Science
Degree Nursing (ADN) and certain occupational
programs, are listed elsewhere in this catalog.
Guidelines for eligibility into various programs are
found within program descriptions in the catalog.
Additional admission information may be obtained
from the Office of Admissions and Records.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
Florida Resident Information and Requirements
All applicants for admission to Central Florida
Community College, degree-seeking or non-degreeseeking, full-time or part-time, are required to
execute a Statement of Residence if they claim
in-state residence. If the applicant is under 24 years
of age and unmarried, the statement also must be
signed by a parent or legal guardian. These
guidelines implement Sections 1009.21, Florida
Statutes, and Rule 6A-10.044, Florida Administrative
Code, for the purpose of determining residency
18
status for tuition purposes in public community
colleges and universities.
A Florida “resident for tuition purposes” is a person
who has, or a dependent person whose parent or
legal guardian of five years has, established and
maintained legal residence in Florida for at least 12
months immediately prior to the first day of classes
for the semester in which residency status is
sought. Anyone not establishing residency by this
date must apply for reclassification in a following
semester. Residence in Florida must be a bona fide
domiciliary rather than for the purpose of maintaining
a residence incidental to enrollment at an institution
of higher education. Other persons not meeting the
12-month legal residence requirement may be
classified as Florida “residents for tuition purposes”
only if they fall within one of the limited special
categories authorized by the Florida Legislature.
All other persons are ineligible for classification as
a Florida “resident for tuition purposes.” To qualify
as a Florida “resident for tuition purposes,” it is
necessary to be a U.S. citizen, a permanent
resident alien or a legal alien granted indefinite stay
by the Department of Homeland Security. Living in
or attending school in Florida will not, in itself,
establish legal residence. Students who depend on
out-of-state parents for support are presumed to be
legal residents of the same state as their parents.
Residence in Florida must be for the purpose of
establishing a permanent home and not merely
incidental to enrollment at an institution of higher
education. Documents supporting the establishment
of legal residence must be dated, issued or filed 12
months immediately prior to the first day of classes
of the term for which a Florida resident classification
is sought.
A copy of the most recent tax return or other
documentation may be requested to establish
dependence/independence. A dependent is defined
as a person for whom 50 percent or more of his or
her support is provided by another as defined by
the Internal Revenue Service. An independent is
defined as a person who provides more than 50
percent of his or her own support as defined by the
Internal Revenue Service.
Establishing Residency
A Florida “resident for tuition purposes” must
qualify in one of the following categories:
1. A person, or if that person is a dependent
child, his or her parents, must have
established legal residence in Florida and
must have maintained legal residence in
Florida for at least 12 months immediately
prior to the first day of classes of the term for
which a Florida resident classification is
sought. Anyone not establishing residency by
this date must apply for reclassification the
following semester.
2. A dependent person who has resided for five
years with an adult relative other than his or
her parents or legal guardian, and whose
said relative has maintained legal residence
in Florida for a least 12 months immediately
prior to the first day of classes of the term for
which a Florida resident classification is
sought, provided the dependent has resided
continuously with this relative for five years
prior to enrollment.
3. Married to a person who has maintained
legal residence in Florida for at least 12
months immediately prior to the first day of
classes of the term for which a Florida resident
classification is sought, has established legal
residence, intends to make Florida his or her
permanent home and who has relinquished
legal ties to any other state.
4. Persons who were enrolled as Florida
residents for tuition purposes at a Florida
public institution of higher education, but
who abandon Florida residency and then
re-enrolled in Florida within 12 months of the
abandonment.
5. Active duty members of the armed services
of the United States, residing or stationed in
Florida, and active members of the Florida
National Guard who qualify under S.250.10
(7) and (8) for the tuition assistance program,
(and spouse/dependent child) or military
personnel not stationed in Florida, whose
home of record or state of legal residence
certificated, DD Form 2058, is Florida.
6. Active duty members of the armed services
of the United States, and their spouses
attending a public community college or
university within 50 miles of the military
establishment where they are stationed, if
such military establishment is within a county
contiguous to Florida.
7. United States citizens living on the Isthmus of
Panama, who have completed 12 consecutive
months of college work at the Florida State
University Panama Canal Branch, and their
spouses and dependent children.
8. Full-time instructional and administrative
personnel employed by the state public school
system, community colleges and institutions
of higher education (and spouse/dependent
children.)
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
9. Students from Latin America and the
Caribbean who receive scholarships from the
federal or state government. The student
must attend, on a full-time basis, a Florida
institution of higher education.
10. Full-time employees of state agencies or
political subdivisions of the state when the
student fees are paid by the state agency or
political subdivision for the purpose of jobrelated law enforcement or corrections
training.
11. United States citizens living outside of the
United States who are teaching at a
Department of Defense Dependent School or
in an American International School and
who enrolled in a Florida State Board of
Education-approved graduate level
education program which leads to a Florida
teaching certificate.
12. Qualified beneficiaries under the Florida
Pre-Paid Postsecondary Expense Program
per S. 1009.98(2)(a)1.
13. A dependent child, whose parents are
divorced, separated or otherwise living apart
will be considered a resident for tuition
purposes if either parent is a legal resident
of Florida, regardless of which parent claims
the minor for tax purposes.
14. Active duty members of the Canadian military
residing or stationed in Florida under the North
American Air Defense (NORAD) agreement,
and their spouses and dependent children,
attending a public community college or
university within 50 miles of the military
establishment where they are stationed.
NOTE: Documentation in support of the above
qualifications is required.
Documents for Proof of Residency
To qualify as a “resident for tuition purposes,” an
applicant or the dependent applicant’s parent/legal
guardian must establish and maintain legal residency
in Florida. The documents supporting the establishment of legal residency must be dated, issued or

classes of the term for which a Florida resident
19
classification is sought. These supporting residency
documents must be received in the registrar’s
office by the end of the regular posted add/drop
period for that semester. All documentation is
subject to verification. Additional documentation,
other than what is stated below, may be requested
in some cases. For this process, a minimum of two
copied documents are required. At least one must
be issued 12 months immediately prior to the first
day of classes of the term for which a Florida
resident classification is sought. NO SINGLE
DOCUMENT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE.
A. Florida driver’s license. This is required as
one of the 2 (two) needed items.
B. Florida voter’s registration card.
C. Florida vehicle registration.
D. Copy of mortgage, deed or homestead

Appeals
The college registrar will review appeals
regarding the admissions classification and will
convey to the applicant the final residency
determination.
20
Reclassification
It is important to understand that living in or
attending school in Florida is not sufficient
evidence to establish residency for tuition
purposes. Students must show that they were in
Florida to maintain a bona fide domicile. The
following hard copy evidence may be accepted as
evidence of establishing legal residence in Florida:
A. For independent students, if appropriate,
obtain parent/student tax returns, affidavits,
employment records, bank accounts, etc.,
and at least one document of legal residency
dated at least 12 months immediately prior to
the first day of classes of the term for which
legal residency is sought. (See previous list
of acceptable evidence.)
B. For dependent students, if dependent on a
Florida resident parent/legal guardian, obtain
from parent/legal guardian:
1. Proof of dependent status, and
2. At least two documents of legal residency
pertaining to the parent/legal guardian
that is dated 12 months immediately
prior to the first day of classes for the
term in which residency is sought. (See
previous list of acceptable evidence.)
C. If dependent on out-of-state parent/legal
guardian, student may be reclassified only
under rare circumstances in which the
student’s age and general circumstances
warrant the reclassification (e.g., graduate
student, married, is supporting a dependent
child or adult).
D. For students seeking reclassification under
an exceptional category, hard copy
documentation appropriate to the particular
category (e.g., marriage certificate, military
orders, teaching contract, etc.) is required.
Appeals
The college registrar will review appeals
regarding the reclassification and will convey to
the applicant the final residency determination and
the reasons.
ALL APPLICANTS
Application and Application Fee
All students must submit a completed application,
along with a non-refundable, one-time application fee.
SUBSTITUTIONS FOR ELIGIBLE
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Eligible students with disabilities may be provided
special considerations for reasonable substitution
for any requirement for admission to the institution,
admission to a program of study or area of interest,
or graduation. Florida State Board of Education
Rule 6A-10.041 authorizes reasonable substitution
for these requirements to any person who has a
hearing impairment, visual impairment or a specific
learning disorder. Substitutions will only be utilized
in cases where the person’s failure to meet the
requirement is related to the disability and where
the failure to meet the requirement does not
constitute a fundamental alteration in the nature of
the program. For procedures regarding substitutions
contact the Coordinator of Access Services 352854-2322 ext. 1580, TDD 352-873-5854.
COLLEGE CREDIT DIVISION
All college credit students must be high school
graduates, GED recipients, home school completers,
or qualified Early Admission/Dual Enrollment students
(see page 30).
Students can be admitted to credit courses
at CFCC under one or more of the following
classifications.
Degree-seeking students can earn either the
Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.).
Non-degree applicants are persons who wish
to take selected college courses without intending
to complete an associate degree program. Many
students attend to upgrade employment skills, for
career exploration, teacher recertification, audit, or
for personal objectives. A non-degree applicant
must submit a completed application and a onetime, non-refundable application fee.
A non-degree status student cannot be certified
for financial aid or veterans’ benefits. If a student
wishes to pursue a degree, he or she must contact
the Enrollment Services Center and indicate a
desire to be changed to a degree-seeking status.
Some courses are closed to non-degree-seeking
students.
Most college credit certificate-seeking students
pursue a one-year program of study.
Transfer students are those who have previously
registered at any other postsecondary institution(s),
regardless of the amount of time spent or credit
earned. They can be degree-seeking or nondegree-seeking. See special requirements on
page 24.
Returning students, or those who have
previously applied and paid an application fee, will
not be charged a second application fee. Students
who return to CFCC who have not been continuously
enrolled (defined as earning one credit hour or
more in one calendar year) will need to complete a
readmission application as well as the academic
requirements of the current catalog in effect. Any
full- or part-time student has five calendar years of
continuous enrollment after he/she returns to
complete degree requirements under the catalog in
effect when returning.
ADMISSION
AND
REGISTRATION
Students seeking to return to the ADN (Associate
in Science Degree Nursing) program must follow
procedures outlined. Veterans see pages 49–50.
International students are those who are
residents of countries other than the United States.
See pages 22–23.
Regardless of which classification is appropriate,
the student is considered either full-time (enrolled
for 12 or more credits in a regular 16-week
semester) or part-time (enrolled for fewer than 12
credits in a regular 16-week semester). Also, a
student is considered to be a freshman if 29 or
fewer credit hours have been earned, or a
sophomore if more than 29 credit hours have
been earned.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
See page 36 for information on preadmission testing.
AUDIT Students
Students will follow the regular registration and
payment process. During the posted add/drop
period ONLY, students may submit a request to
change to audit status in the Enrollment Services
Center on the Ocala Campus or Citrus Campus.
Exceptions to the audit policy require approval of
the dean and will count as an attempt. The audit
policy is not applicable to Health Occupations,
Criminal Justice, Science Labs, and college
preparatory and dual enrollment students. (see
Forgiveness and Withdrawal policies, pages 67
and 68).
21
CHILD CARE Students
To comply with Florida state law, Chapter
402.3055, each prospective student must be
fingerprinted and undergo a criminal background
check, reference check and tuberculosis test. The
cost of these procedures is the responsibility of the
student. Information received is confidential and is
required to determine the prospective student’s
ability to work with children.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE Students
See pages 115 and 145.
DEGREE-SEEKING Students
Placement Testing: Degree-seeking applicants
to any university or community college in the Florida
state system must present placement test scores
taken within the last two years as part of the
application process. CFCC accepts any of the three
tests authorized by the state (ACT, SAT or CPT).
CPT is the official placement test for community
colleges in the state of Florida. CFCC regularly
offers CPT on its campus. Placement tests provide
information about the reading, English, and
mathematics skills that are required for success in
college. By assessing ability levels in these areas,
placement tests help determine the most appropriate
English, mathematics, and reading courses students
should take. Scoring below the required cut-off
score indicates the student is not ready for collegelevel work in the specific area. Florida requires
these students to complete non-credit college
preparatory course work prior to entering college
level work in the weak areas.
New degree-seeking students may not register
for classes unless CFCC has placement test
scores on file. CPT sample test question booklets
and ACT and SAT registration packets are available
at CFCC’s Ocala Campus Testing Center (Building
5, Room 205), as well as at the Citrus Campus
Counseling office.
INTERNATIONAL Students
Central Florida Community College has an
Office of International Student Services to assist
international students in making the transition from
their home countries to CFCC. The staff will gladly
assist students with immigration regulations,
educational planning, personal problems and other
areas of concern.
Central Florida Community College is authorized
by United States Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) to enroll non-immigrant alien
students. These students are required to complete

Information form need to be completed.
A bank letter dated within the past three
months must also be included in the
admissions packet. All of this financial
information must be submitted before the
student will be considered for admission.
A non-immigrant student may not be
employed while attending college in the
United States unless the USCIS has
granted permission. When you request a
student packet of information, a Confidential
Financial Statement and a Financial Support
Information form will be included.
7. Health and Accident Insurance: Insurance
is MANDATORY. International students on
F-1, or M-1 visas must provide proof of
medical insurance in advance of the intended
semester of enrollment. This insurance must
be continued for the entire period of enrollment. International students must provide
evidence of insurance coverage prior to registration each semester. Contact the Office
International Services at CFCC for details
about the insurance coverage requirements.

23
Transcript Requirements
High school graduates are required to submit
final official high school transcripts, proof of GED
or home school affidavit to the Enrollment Services
Centers or the Office of Admissions and Records
on any CFCC campus.
Transfer students are required to submit official
transcripts from each institution that they have
previously attended at the time that they apply
or readmit to CFCC. To be considered official,
transcripts may be either sent directly to CFCC
from the issuing institution or be delivered in a
sealed envelope sealed by the issuing institution.
Official transcripts may be submitted to the
Enrollment Services Centers or the Office of
Admissions and Records on any CFCC campus.
The Office of Admissions and Records will
evaluate these transcripts and post all accepted
transfer courses to the student’s permanent
academic record.
Transfer students may also be required to
submit their final high school transcript, proof of
GED or home school affidavit as well.
Transfer students who do not have transcripts
on file showing completion of college prep or
college level English and math will be required to
take a placement test.
Students seeking the Associate in Science
degree who posses an Associate in Arts or higher
degree have already satisfied core requirements as
listed on page 52.
In Associate in Arts degree programs, all
academic work (1000 and 2000–level) transfers in
as well as some 3000 level courses (depending on
course content). In the cases where the content is
the same, the burden of proof is on the student to
provide official course outlines or syllabi. Upper
division courses (4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000–level)
are not applicable to the degree. Any questions
regarding transcript evaluation must be resolved
with the Office of Admissions and Records.
Transfer students from NON-Regionally
accredited institutions. CFCC does not ordinarily
accept transfer credits from institutions not accredited by a regional accrediting agency unless that
institution is participating in an articulation agreement with the state of Florida or CFCC. However,
each transcript will be considered on an individual
basis. The course work accepted must represent
collegiate coursework relevant to the degree, with
course content and level of instruction resulting in
student competencies at least equivalent to those
24
of students enrolled in CFCC’s degree programs.
It is the student’s responsibility to provide the
following information to the Admissions Committee
on a course-by-course basis if they wish for CFCC
to consider awarding credit for courses that were
not transferred during their initial evaluations.
The student must:
1. Provide the teaching credentials (institution,
degrees, and discipline) of the instructor of
each course being reconsidered for credit.
2. Provide the syllabus, course objectives and
course description for each course being
considered for transfer credit.
3. Provide an official transcript to CFCC.
All documents must be provided before the
request will be considered by the Admissions
Committee. Upon receipt of the document, the
Admissions Committee will review all evidence
provided and make a final determination on the
transferability of each course.
International transfer students with course
work from outside of the United States must
submit certified original official high school diplomas
or certified high school transcripts showing subjects
and grades earned, as well as dates of completion.
Official transcripts from any postsecondary school(s)
attended must be provided. An evaluation from a
foreign credentials agency (approved by CFCC)
is required for all postsecondary coursework taken
outside of the United States. Both official transcripts
in the native language, as well as English translations
are required in addition to the foreign credentials
evaluation. Any translation, evaluation or testing
fees are the student’s responsibility.
Transient students must submit a transient
letter showing good standing from the last institution
attended prior to registering at CFCC. The transient
letter must also list those courses in which the
student wishes to enroll, as well as their residency
status for tuition purposes.
Failure to have all transcripts on file will
prohibit the student from registering the following
semester.
Credit By Examination
Central Florida Community College welcomes a variety of students of all ages to our campus. Many
students bring a depth of knowledge to specific subjects. We recognize and honor such knowledge by
awarding credit by examinations. Section 1009.539, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating
Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for such exams. Public
community colleges and universities in Florida are requested to follow the ACC’s recommendation concerning their examination policies. Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit. Institutions may not
award credit for scores below those listed by the ACC. CFCC students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours
of course credit through any combination of credit by examination (e.g., CLEP, AP, IB, Dantes and/or
Excelsior College). Hours toward graduation are recorded as “credit by examination” with no grades or
quality points given. These credits do not affect a student’s grade point average. Score minimums, credit
hours awarded and course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any examination
without prior notice.

Dual Enrollment
The State Board of Education encourages
colleges and school boards to enter into agreements to offer college courses to selected high
school students who have exhausted their school’s
curriculum and qualify for dual enrollment status.
As provided for by current legislation, colleges may
waive the student’s application, tuition and applicable
fees. CFCC has such agreements with Citrus, Levy
and Marion public school districts. Students who
believe they might qualify for the dual enrollment
classes should discuss this possibility with their
high school counselors. High school students can
take dual enrollment courses on some high school
campuses and on the college campus. (See page
95 for information on Tech Prep.)
Early Admission
Another acceleration opportunity exists in the
college’s early admission program designed for students who have completed the 11th grade and wish
to attend the college as full-time students
(12 credits or more) during the high school senior
year. All dual enrollment and early admission
candidates must submit an application, appropriate
test scores (CPT, ACT, SAT), and a letter of
recommendation from the high school. Once these
materials are on file in the Office of Admissions
and Records, the application will be evaluated and
the student will be notified officially of acceptance.
Public and approved private school students are
exempt from the application fee and tuition.
Experiential Learning
The experiential learning assessment process is
designed to recognize the academic value of learning
through experiences including work experience,
employment-related training programs, seminars,
volunteer work, travel, military service or self-directed study.
Assessment: Assessment involves the following:
• Written or performance tests.
• Preparation of a portfolio describing learning
and how it was acquired.
• Evaluation of certificates and licenses.
• Interviews with faculty members.
• Review of external agency recommendations.
The program area responsible for the courses
for which credit is requested determines the
method of assessment and the amount of credit
awarded. Not all courses are assessable courses.
Courses being assessed must be offered as a
30
requirement or an elective in an A.S. degree or
certificate program at CFCC. General education
courses are not assessable.
Process: After being admitted to the college and
selecting a program with the help of a counselor or
advisor, the student must:
1. Meet with the appropriate program representative to determine if an assessment process
is available for selected courses.
2. Apply for assessment on forms available
from the department or student affairs.
3. Consult with the department, program manager
or designated faculty evaluator to determine
requirements for assessment and fees required.
4. Discuss student responsibilities in the
assessment process, including:
• Meeting with an instructor for an oral or
written exam
• Preparing for a written exam by reviewing
textbooks
• Arranging for an instructor to interview an
employer, as well as a work site visit
• Presenting certificates and licenses for
authentication
• Developing a portfolio of experience
• Providing ACE recommendations for
military training.
5. Pay necessary fees for assessment. It is
possible that academic credit will not be
awarded as requested, but the cost of
assessment remains the same.
Award of Credit: Depending on the amount of
credit requested and the methods of assessment
required, the assessment process time may vary.
When the process is completed, the results are forwarded to the appropriate dean for final review and
verification. The dean will request, by memo, that
the College Registrar post any awarded credits to
the transcript. Credits awarded are held in escrow
until the student satisfactorily completes 25% of
program coursework (15 credits for the A.A.) at
CFCC. Experiential credit may not be used to meet
the residency requirement of 25% of program
course work required at CFCC for graduation.
This type of credit may not be acceptable for
transfer to other institutions. The receiving
institution would determine transferability.
Credit by Departmental Examination
Evidence of proficiency in a subject area qualifies
a student to request a departmental examination in
departments where exams are provided. Students
may not apply for credit by departmental examination
in a course where they have received either an
“A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” “F,” “I” or “W” for work attempted, or
if they have earned credit for an advanced course
in that area. Credits earned will not be included on
the official college transcript until the student has
completed a minimum of 12 credits at CFCC.
1. The student must contact the department or
discipline program facilitator/program
manager in the department where
departmental exams are provided.
2. Based on advice from the departmental
contact, the student must complete the
upper portion of the Credit by Departmental
Exam/Experiential Learning registration form.
3. The dean and the discipline program facilitator
will review student’s request with the student.
If approved, the process for completing the
exam will be explained.
4. The student must take the approved
registration form and payment to the
cashier. A per course fee must be paid prior
to the administration of the exam.
5. Upon registration for the departmental exam
and payment of the fee, the student must
schedule the exam within five working days.
6. The departmental representative will schedule
the exam within 10 working days after being
contacted by the student.
7. The dean will monitor the exam process in
order to verify evidence (passing exam
score) of competency.
8. Upon satisfactory completion of the exam,
the dean forwards, by memo, the results
to the Office of Admissions and Records.
A grade of “S” will be submitted for passed
departmental exam.
9. Upon receipt of the memo, Office of
Admissions and Records will notify the
student the grade has been received.
Correspondence and Extension Courses
CFCC offers neither correspondence nor
extension courses, although certain correspondence
courses are acceptable for transfer.

each students’ program of study. All students who
have completed Orientation/Registration and are in
good standing may register online in future terms.

students prior to registration for their first term at
the college. Students who have attended CFCC
before and are returning to the college after a fiveyear absence must complete online orientation.
Students may register for a maximum of 18

decal are issued by the campus Public Safety
office when fees are paid.
Fees may be paid online by credit card via the
MyCFCC Web Portal, in-person at the cashier’s
window on the Ocala and Citrus campuses and the
Levy Center administrative offices or by check via
regular mail (as long as the payment is received
prior to the fee due date).
Students receiving financial aid or veteran’s
assistance should go to the Enrollment Services
Center first for processing of necessary paperwork.
Students will be held in their registered classes
provided fees are paid by the due date or they

your registration fees are being paid by an external
agency (your employer, Florida Prepaid Program,
Vocational Rehabilitation, One-Stop, a government
agency, etc.), you must present your current form
of authorization (letter, card, voucher, etc.) to a
campus business office or Enrollment Services
Center by the fee payment deadline. This authorization must be for the current term and indicate a
specific dollar amount for fees and/or books. You
are responsible for any remaining balance. If the
current authorization is not presented, your
account will not be credited properly and you may
be removed from all of your courses and/or
responsible to pay the fees.
Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan — Students who
participate in the Florida Prepaid Tuition Plan must
present a valid Florida Prepaid Identification card
and a photo ID to a campus cashier each semester
they register for classes as well as whenever
they make a schedule change during the add/drop

student. Students participating in this tuition plan
are responsible for any amounts not covered by
their plan, and any remaining balance must be

THE LEARNING THEME
AT CFCC
In 2002-03, Central Florida Community College
inaugurated an institution-wide learning theme,
Integrity: A Value of Community. The learning
theme study promotes connections among the
segments of the CFCC community-students, faculty,
staff, administration—and with the larger community
of which it is a part.
In exploring an annual theme, the college family
becomes more involved in the holistic nature of
learning, developing an awareness of “learning
across the curriculum” and experiencing first-hand
that knowledge and insight cross departmental
barriers. Involving students in a learning theme
also has the benefit of implementing many of the
Institutional Learning Outcomes including
Communication, Critical Thinking and Problem
Solving, Technical Skills, Math, Interpersonal Skills,
and Self-Direction. Students and staff read a book
in common and organize classroom and campus
events around questions related to the theme.
The themes are based on defining the four values
in the college vision statement—integrity, service,
responsibility and dignity—and determining what
these mean to the CFCC learning community.
“Responsibility” is the theme for 2008–2009.
FOCUS: STUDENT
DEVELOPMENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Major College Directions: To provide accessible,
affordable, high quality learning opportunities which
meet students’ lifelong learning needs. To provide a
caring environment which supports learning and
development. To contribute to the cultural, social
and economic development of our communities.
To value our employees.
In response to these Major Directions, Central
Florida Community College has become a
student-centered learning institution that provides
opportunities for students to pursue lifelong learning
experiences.
38
Learning Outcomes
CFCC has identified six major student
development learning objectives and competencies
that describe the student development learning
outcomes for a CFCC graduate. These learning
outcomes can be applied in academic, employment,
social and community contexts and must be crafted
over a lifetime. These learning outcomes and
competencies enable students to set learning
goals and assess learning within and across
academic disciplines and the disciplines of human
inquiry and development.
Communication skills
Self direction and self exploration skills
Critical thinking and problem solving skills
Interpersonal skills
Information technology skills
Mathematics
AIDS AND
BLOODBORNE
PATHOGENS
Information on the college policy on HIV
and bloodborne pathogens is available in the
Human Resources office, the Learning Resources
Department, on the college Intranet, and the office
of the Vice President for Student Affairs. Copies are
available in the latter office. The Ocala and Citrus
campuses have counselors well versed on the
subject and available to work with persons who have
AIDS or who have questions about AIDS. Information shared is kept in strict confidence. Contact the
Student Advising Department for assistance.
DRUG AND
ALCOHOL POLICY
As a condition of enrollment and employment at
the college, individuals shall certify that they are
not engaged in the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensation, possession or use of illicit drugs
and/or alcohol on the college’s property or as any
part of the institution’s activities. All campuses and
student/employee/alumni activities associated with
the college, whether on or off the campus, shall
be guided by this policy and its procedures. In
accordance with Board Policy, alcoholic beverages
are not permitted on college property. Further

HEPATITIS B/MENINGITIS
AWARENESS
Florida law now requires that a post-secondary
institution shall provide detailed information
concerning the risks associated with meningococcal
meningitis and hepatitis B and the availability,
effectiveness, and known contraindications of any
required or recommended vaccine to every student,
or to the student’s parent if the student is a minor,
who has been accepted for admission. Meningitis
is a serious disease that affects the brain and spinal
cord. Because bacterial meningitis is a grave illness
and can rapidly progress to death, it requires early
diagnosis and treatment. This is often difficult
because the symptoms closely resemble those of
the flu and the highest incidence of meningitis occurs
during late winter and early spring (flu season).
When not fatal, bacterial meningitis can lead to
permanent disabilities such as hearing loss, brain
damage, or loss of limbs. Hepatitis B is a serious
infectious disease caused by a virus that attacks
the liver. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause
life-long infection that leads to cirrhosis (scarring) of
the liver, liver cancer, or liver failure. There is no
cure for hepatitis B, but the infection can be prevented by vaccination. Each year, about 200,000
people are infected with the virus and 5,000 die.
Although there have been no reported cases of
meningitis or hepatitis B at our college in recent
years, we are taking the proactive step towards
informing and protecting our students.
GENERAL
INFORMATION
HOUSING
Convenient housing is provided adjacent to the
Ocala Campus through the CFCC Foundation, Inc.
College Square, a 48-unit, 192-bedroom student
residence center, is directly across from the Ocala
Campus on Airport Road. Inquiries may be made
by contacting the on-site housing office or the
Enrollment Services Center in Bryant Student Union
Building (5). College-sponsored housing is unusual
among community colleges, but the CFCC
administration believes that a quality residential
environment can add a positive dimension to student
educational and personal development.
I.D. CARDS
All credit students are entitled to photo
identification cards that allow attendance at campus
activities, use of the Learning Resources Center,
and the Learning Support Center. Photo I.D. cards
are required when selling textbooks back to the
45
bookstore. Ocala Campus students should report
to the campus Public Safety office to have a
photograph taken and a card made. Citrus Campus
students should report to the Welcome Center to
have a card made. Hours are Monday through
Friday, 8:30–11 a.m., and 1–2:30 p.m. on
Wednesday and Thursday. Levy Center students
should inquire at the center business office for
information on photo scheduling.
LOST AND FOUND
Lost and found items are stored in the Public
Safety office at the Ocala Campus, the Welcome
Center at the Citrus Campus, and the lobby at
Levy Center. Items will be held for sixty (60) days
after the beginning of the semester following the
semester in which the item was received. Sixty (60)
days after the start of each semester (fall, spring,
and summer A/B), unclaimed items will be donated
or discarded as appropriate. To reclaim an item, the
party claiming ownership must provide a picture ID
and properly identify the item.
PARKING
Traffic and parking regulations have been
established to maximize safety and parking
convenience. All vehicles brought on campus by
students or employees must be properly registered
with the Public Safety Department. This can be
accomplished at the Public Safety building on the
Ocala Campus and at the Enrollment Services
Center on the Citrus Campus. A copy of the
regulations and information on available parking
areas is provided. All vehicles parked on campus
without a current parking decal or special parking
permit properly displayed will be ticketed, booted or
towed at the owner’s risk and expense. See page
73 for information on fines and penalties for violation
of traffic and parking regulations.
PETITIONS,
GRIEVANCES and
ACADEMIC REVIEW
In cases of unusual circumstances where
specific regulations do not seem to be in the best
interest of a student’s academic program, provision
for review has been established through a faculty
committee on student petitions. This committee has
the authority to review matters pertaining to
academic progress and to recommend exceptions
concerning any academic regulation if such
46
exception seems to be in the best interest of the
student and of the college.
Petition forms pertinent to academic progress
and/or academic regulations are available in the
Enrollment Services Center on both the Ocala and
Citrus campuses and the administrative office at the
Levy Center. These forms are to be used by any
student who, after discussion with the assigned advisor or counselor, believes that special circumstances
govern the situation.
The college has established and published in
the FOCUS, a policy for hearing and settling of
student grievances. Any student who feels he or
she has been discriminated against on the basis of
gender, race, color, religion, age, marital status,
or disability in the application of any policy or
procedure of Central Florida Community College
should contact the office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs to file a letter of grievance.
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY
OBSERVANCE
In compliance with federal, state (F.S. 1006.53
and F.A.C. 6A-14.0571) and District Board of
Trustees rule (3.18), which provide that there shall
be no discrimination in the treatment of students
and employees on the basis of religion, the college
makes reasonable accommodation for religious
observance. Such accommodation shall apply to
admissions, registration, class attendance and
activities, scheduling of examinations and official
ceremonies, and work assignments.
SEXUAL OFFENDERS
ON CAMPUS
Federal and State law requires a person
designated as a sexual offender or sexual predator
to register with the local law enforcement agency
where the offender resides. Offenders are also
required to notify local law enforcement of their
intent to apply for enrollment or employment at an
institution of higher learning. The local law
enforcement agency is, in turn, required to notify
the college when receiving this information.
Information regarding sexual offenders or
predators attending or employed by an institution
of higher learning may be obtained from the local
law enforcement agency with jurisdiction for the
particular campus or by calling FDLE hotline
(1-888-FL-PREDATOR) or (1-888-357-7332),
or by visiting the FDLE Web site at
www.fdle.state.fl.us/sexual_predators
The College has established a procedure for
sexual offenders and predators who apply to the
college. Sexual offenders are encouraged to selfidentify when applying for admission by calling the
office of the Vice President for Student Affairs
located at the Ocala Campus. Such individuals will
be required to submit specific information to the
Vice President for Student Affairs about their
offense(s), adjudication, sentencing, probation and
treatment, and will be interviewed to determine if
they can be accepted. Conditions may be placed
on their admittance to the college, and instructors
in whose classes they enroll may be notified of
their presence. Sexual predators who apply for
admission will be denied.
STUDENT PRIVACY
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
passed in 1974 by the United States Congress
relates to accessibility and confidentiality of student
records. Provisions of the act classify the following
as ‘‘directory information’’ that will be released to
the general public upon request, unless the student
has specifically requested that some or all of the
information not be released: name, address, date
of birth, fields of study or area of interest, participation
in officially-organized activities and sports, weight
and height of athletic team members, dates of
attendance, degrees and awards received, and most
recent previous educational institution attended.
A student must submit to the Office of
Admissions and Records a written notice stating
which of the above items is not to be released
to the general public. All other information not listed
above that relates directly to the student cannot be
released without the student’s written permission.
Under the law, access to student records without
the student’s permission is granted under the
following circumstances: to teachers, administrators
and the like in the same institution; to other
institutions in which the student intends to enroll;
to the Comptroller General of the United States;
in connection with a student’s application for, or
receipt of, financial aid; to organizations such as
Educational Testing Service or the College Entrance
Examination Board involved in testing programs
and student aid; to accrediting organizations; in
compliance with judicial order or pursuant to any
lawfully-issued subpoena.
The College Registrar can provide additional
information on the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment).
SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER COLLECTION
AND USAGE
In compliance with Florida Statute 119.071(5),
this procedure serves to notify prospective students
and other individuals of the purpose for the
collection and usage of social security numbers by
Central Florida Community College (CFCC).
CFCC collects and uses social security numbers
only if specifically authorized by law to do so, or it
is imperative for the performance of its duties and
responsibilities as prescribed by law. Specifically,
CFCC collects social security numbers for the
following purposes:
Admissions Department
Federal legislation relating to the Hope Tax
Credit requires that all postsecondary institutions
report student social security numbers to the Internal
Revenue Service. This IRS requirement makes it
necessary for community colleges to collect the
social security number of every student. A student
may refuse to disclose his or her social security
number to CFCC, but the IRS is then authorized to
fine the student in the amount of $50.00.
In addition to the federal reporting requirements,
the public school system in Florida uses social
security numbers as a student identifier (section
229.559, Florida Statutes–new school code section
1008.386). In a seamless K–20 system, it is
beneficial for postsecondary institutions to have
access to the same information for purposes of
tracking and assisting students in the smooth
transition from one education level to the next. All
social security numbers are protected by federal
regulations Family Educational Rights and Privacy
(FERPA).
Continuing Education and Corporate Training
Because of Florida State Education Reporting
requirements, students who enroll in Continuing
Education and Corporate Training seminars are
required to submit their social security numbers.
Financial Aid Department
The Office of Financial Aid at CFCC requires
students to submit their social security numbers on
various forms in order to correctly identify applicants,
match each applicant’s financial aid record with the
student record, and to help coordinate state aid
programs with federal and institutional aid programs.

Library
Student, faculty and staff social security numbers
will be used in the libraries’ patron database
(LINCC) for online log-in authentication, patron
verification and the elimination of duplicate records.
Outreach Programs
Programs such as the Educational Opportunity
Program and College Reach-Out Program are
youth outreach projects funded by discretionary
grants from the United States or Florida Departments
of Education. As such, each project is required to
exclusively serve eligible participants that are
citizens or nationals of the United States; or are
permanent residents of the United States. In order
to verify a participant’s project eligibility, social
security numbers are required and also later
used when submitting information for the Annual
48
Performance Reports due to the United States or
Florida Department of Education.
Workforce Programs
These programs use social security numbers as
an identifier for program enrollment and completion.
Also, it is used for entering placement information
into either the OSMIS or the Employ Florida
Marketplace statewide data collection and reporting
system. Because these are performance-based
contract programs, it is required that all participants
and their program related activities be recorded in
the Florida state system.
Miscellaneous
Identification and verification, billings and
payments, data collection, reconciliation, tracking,
benefit processing, and tax reporting.
To protect one’s identity, CFCC will secure
social security numbers from unauthorized access
and assign a unique student/employee identification
number. This unique identification number will then
be used for all associated employment and
educational purposes at CFCC.
CFCC TRANSCRIPTS
Official transcript request can be made online
via the CFCC Web site, through MyCFCC or by
completing a paper form available in the Enrollment
Service Center nearest you. Online requests can
often be processed faster, provided all information
can be verified electronically. Paper requests can
be sent via mail or in person if the information is
complete and a signature of the student is included
on the request. E-mail requests for transcripts
cannot be processed.
A transcript fee of $3.00 is required at the time
of the request for each transcript and can be paid
by cash, check, and credit or debit card. Students
must be in good standing with the college (including
all financial obligations) before the transcript
request will be processed.
Official transcripts are sent by CFCC through
the U.S Postal Services or electronically to Florida
state schools unless the student selects the FedEx
option on the online transcript request. Unofficial
transcripts can be obtained from the Florida
Academic Counseling and Tracking System
(FACTS) at FACTS.org or from the CFCC Web site
through MyCFCC.
All transcript requests take three business days to
process from the date of the request. Please allow
one week for transcript requests to be processed
from archives (course taken prior to 1980).
VETERANS
INFORMATION
Students who are using their VA education
benefits for the first time must activate their
benefits with the VA. For quickest processing,
it is recommended that veterans and/or
dependents apply using the VONAPP Web site at
www.gibill.va.gov. Hard copies of VA education
benefit applications may also be downloaded from
this Web site. Note: According to the VA regional
processing office, the processing of the hard copy
application will delay the receipt of benefits by
approximately 2-3 months. We strongly suggest
utilization of the online application form.
Computers are available for use in the Enrollment
Services Center on each campus. Students may
also pick up a VA Certification instruction sheet
and a Veteran’s Handbook in the Enrollment
Services Center. These documents provide
detailed step-by-step instructions for application
and use of Veteran’s educational benefits.
Note: Allow a minimum of six to eight weeks for
the VA application or any paperwork to be processed
by the VA regional office from the time the
paperwork is submitted by the veteran to the VA
regional office.
Each chapter 30 or 1606 (active duty or reserve)
veteran must also submit a copy of his/her DD-214
discharge papers to the Office of Admissions and
Records to have HLP 1081 credits posted to
his/her official CFCC transcript. By agreement
between CFCC and the Veteran’s Administration,
each chapter 30, 31 and 1606 veteran will receive
4.0 hours of HLP 1081 Personal Wellness credit
with a grade of “S.” NOTE: Because of this agreement, Chapter 30, 31 and 1606 students should
NOT register for HLP 1081 because it is not
covered by the Montgomery GI Bill VA benefits.
4000 Gordon rule words will not be credited to
HLP 1081 hours with a grade of “S.”
Chapter 35 (spouse/dependent) students are
eligible to enroll in HLP 1081 at CFCC and this
course is approved only for use by Chapter 35
VA benefit recipients.
Students who have previously used their
benefits at another institution must file a VA
Change of Program or Place of Training form
prior to certification. These may be obtained in
the Enrollment Services Center and should be
returned to the Enrollment Services Center prior to
enrollment certification.
After submission of the VA benefit application, it
generally takes 60–90 days processing time by the
VA regional office before a benefit check is received.
Important: Completion of the enrollment
certification process requires approval of
courses by a counselor or advisor. Veterans
and/or dependents will not be certified without
an advising appointment to approve their
schedule each semester.
VA Deferments
In accordance with Florida law and college
policy, any eligible veteran or dependent wishing to
pursue an approved program within the parameters
of Chapter 30, 35, or 1606 will have upon request,
60 days after the first day of classes to pay
registration fees. During summer terms, the
deadline for payment of VA deferred fees will be 10
days before the last day of scheduled classes.
Only ONE fee deferment per academic year is
allowed. VA students are responsible for payment
of all deferred fees by the due date regardless of
whether or not they have received benefits from
the VA.
Veteran and dependent students receiving a VA
deferment will be expected to pay their tuition and
fees by the date on their VA deferment contract. If
the fees are not paid by the due date on the VA
Deferment contract, the following may occur:
1) The student may be barred from class
attendance.
2) The student may be administratively
withdrawn from current class enrollment and
earn no grades or credits for the semester.
3) No grades, transcripts or other academic
records will be issued from the Office of
Admissions and Records.
4) The student’s VA benefits will be terminated
along with current semester enrollment and
reported to the VA. This will result in an
overpayment status with the Veteran’s
Administration, and any received VA funds
may need to be returned to the VA.
5) The student will be in a repayment status to
CFCC and be held responsible for tuition
and fees owed even if the student earns no
credit for their semester.
6) The student will be barred from future
registration until fees are paid.
49
7) If fees remain unpaid, the student’s account
will be turned over for collection.
8) The student will forfeit eligibility to receive any
future VA deferments while attending CFCC.
Under Public Law 94.502, veterans cannot be
certified to the VA by CFCC in any program in
which Chapter 30 and Chapter 35 VA recipients
comprise more than 85 percent of the enrollment in
the program. Chapter 35 VA students are included
in the 85:15 percent ratio computation; however,
they can be certified to the VA in any approved
program, regardless of the percentage of veterans
in that program.
VA Standards of Progress
The concept of unsatisfactory progress includes
those VA students not progressing at a rate that
will permit graduation within the approved length of
the course, based on the time paid for by the VA.
This provision may be waived if there is a VA finding
of mitigating or extenuating circumstances. Students
placed on VA probation for unsatisfactory progress
will be so notified, in writing, by the college Veterans
Affairs office. If, after one term or its equivalent, the
student fails to achieve satisfactory progress, VA
educational benefits will be terminated. The college
notifies both the student and the VA regional office
in Atlanta when this occurs. Once a VA student is
dismissed for unsatisfactory progress, he or she
cannot receive further educational benefits from
the VA until approved by the school and VA.
VA Grades
The VA prohibits payment of educational benefits for a course in which a student receives a
non-punitive grade (“W,” “I,” “N” or “X”), and these
grades cannot be used in computing graduation
requirements. This includes any course from
which the student withdraws, unless there is a
VA finding of mitigating circumstances that
caused the withdrawal. Mitigating circumstances
can be considered if the student can demonstrate
good faith in pursuit of the course up to the point of
withdrawal or completion and if the student submits
evidence that he or she applied for tutorial aid and
consulted a counselor in an attempt to remedy the
unsatisfactory work before withdrawal or completion.
Only classes that apply to the degree or program will be certified to the VA. Minimum training
time requirements for veterans are listed below:

Reminder: Any enrollment break of 30 or more
days could result in an interruption of benefits.
Unsatisfactory Attendance in
Vocational Programs
VA students in vocational programs will be
monitored on a monthly basis for attendance. The
VA will be notified of unsatisfactory attendance at
the point during a semester that a vocational
veteran student accumulates three unexcused
absences. The veteran student may not be
recertified for veteran benefits until 30 days of
satisfactory attendance (no more than two
unexcused absences in the 30-day period) has
elapsed. Any non-college degree veteran student
who is terminated from receiving VA educational
benefits will be notified in writing by CFCC.
Note: All VA students are required to present
their registration forms (class schedules) to the
CFCC Enrollment Services Center before they can
be certified to the VA regional office for educational
benefits. These schedules must be signed by a
counselor or advisor. It is necessary to schedule
an appointment with the Student Advising
Department, in advance, for this process to
be completed.

(For students planning to transfer to a four-year
institution after completing two years at CFCC)
Since August 1, 1989, universities in the state of
Florida have required that all undergraduate transfer students admitted have two high school
academic units in a single foreign language or
the equivalent. The equivalent is interpreted as
8–10 semester hours of the same foreign language
taken at college level.
In addition to the General Education common
core requirements noted previously, Associate in
Arts (A.A.) students must:
A. Complete at least 60 credit hours, all of
which must be transferable academic work
exclusive of occupational courses and wellness/fitness courses, unless required in program. (15 credits General Education Common
Core, 21 or 22 credits General Education
Requirements, 24 credits General Education
electives). Note: A.A. degree seeking students
who plan to transfer to a four-year institution
should be aware that a “D” grade may not
transfer to the institution of their choice.
B. Achieve a grade point average of at least
2.0 (“C”) in all college work and at CFCC.
C. Complete at least 15 semester hours in
residence at CFCC (minimum 25% of
semester hours) and attend during the
semester that the degree is earned.
D. Take and pass the state’s College Level
Academic Skills Test (CLAST), if required, or
qualify for an exemption. Passing scores

H. Complete 24 hours of elective courses, which
include the required prerequisites for degree
programs at the university. See Enrollment
Services for articulation sheets for each
University. Elective courses should be
determined by the student’s area of interest
and the requirements of the four-year
institution to which the student plans to
transfer. It is recommended that the student
complete eight semester hours in a foreign
language, American Sign Language, or
appropriate CLEP exam, if the student has
not completed two years of the same foreign
language in high school. Students seeking
admission to the Florida State University
System must have completed two years of
foreign language at the high school level or
two courses (eight credit hours) at the
college level. Students enrolled in foreign
language courses at CFCC must earn a
grade of “C” or better before advancing to
the next level.
Note: American Sign Language may satisfy the
entrance requirement, but not the exit requirement,
for most universities. Check with Enrollment
Services to determine acceptability for the college
you plan to attend.
Area of Interest: Education
Students planning to study education in the
State University System must complete, as a
prerequisite for admission, ACT or SAT and three
education courses:
EDF 2005–Introduction to Education

1012.32(2)(d).) Students who have undergone
criminal background screening as a condition of
current employment do not need to repeat this
process. However, proof of screening must be
54
provided at the first class meeting. Criminal background screening results are valid up to three
years from the date of the initial screening. Any
student who does not pass the criminal background
screening and is deemed not employable by their
respective school system may choose to withdraw
from the course and forfeit all fees. (F.S. Statute
435.04 and 1012.32).
An additional six hours of courses with an
international or diversity focus is also required.

COLLEGE LEVEL
ACADEMIC SKILLS TEST
(CLAST)
The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
measures the following skill areas: essay writing,
mathematics, English language skills and reading.
CFCC expects all A.A. degree students to take
CLAST as soon as they have earned 18 semester
credit hours (excluding any college prep courses),
and have completed ENC 1101, any college level
math course higher than MAT 1033 (see page 56).
CFCC also makes CLAST available for A.S. degree
students who plan eventually to transfer to a
university in the Florida state system.
CLAST is offered three times a year—in
October, February and June—on the Ocala and
Citrus campuses. Required pre-registrations may
be done by calling the Testing Center at the
Ocala campus or the Counseling Office at the
Citrus campus.
There is a one-time $25 charge for first-time
takers and CLAST exemptions. CLAST is offered
three times annually: the first Saturday in October
(unless that is a holiday, in which case the test will
be given the last Saturday in September), the third
Saturday in February, and the first Saturday in June.
Registration closes at 4:30 p.m. Friday, four weeks
prior to the test. Registration information appears
throughout the year on CFCC bulletin boards. CLAST
dates scheduled as the catalog went to press were:
Registration Deadline . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Test Date
September 5, 2008 . . . . . . . . . . . .October 4, 2008
January 23, 2009 . . . . . . . . . . . .February 21, 2009
May 8, 2009 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .June 6, 2009
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
All CLAST-takers are required to present two
forms of identification, one of which must have a
photo. Also, students must bring their CLAST
admission ticket, Social Security number, two
ballpoint pens, and two sharpened No. 2 pencils.
Free sample booklets are available in the Testing
Center, Building 5, Room 205, Ocala Campus, and
the Welcome Center at the Citrus Campus.
Approximate test time is five hours, including 70
minutes’ administration time. Students may retest
as often as necessary, but must meet regular
registration deadlines. Only students who failed one
or more subtests may retest. Students may retake
only the subtests they failed. CFCC students
needing to retake the mathematics, English language
skills, and/or reading subtests may now use the
CAT-CLAST (Computer Assisted Testing) in the
college’s Testing Center, Building 5, Room 205.
Essay retesting is available only on regular CLAST
dates. The college does not grant retesting requests
until students have satisfied an approved review
process. Students receive twice the original amount
of time for any subtests they retake.
Note: Beginning January 1, 1996, any student
fulfilling one or more of the listed requirements
before completing his or her Associate in Arts
degree or a baccalaureate degree may exempt
from the CLAST.
59
1. Achieves a score that meets or exceeds a
minimum score on the SAT or ACT. Students
may also exempt the CLAST English,
reading and essay subtests if they scored
500 or above on the Verbal section of the
SAT. Students may exempt from the Reading
subtest if they scored a 20 or above on the
ACT. Students may exempt from the English
and Essay portion of the CLAST with a
score of 20 or above on the ACT English
test. (No specific college grades or English
courses are required with the SAT or ACT
exemption option.) Students also may
exempt the Computation CLAST subtest if
they scored 500 or above on the Quantitative
Section of the SAT or 21 or above on the
Math section of the ACT. (No specific college
grades or math courses are required with
the SAT or ACT exemption option.)
2. Earns a cumulative grade point average
of 2.5 or above, on a 4.0 scale, in
postsecondary-level course work identified
by the Postsecondary Education Planning
Commission (F.S. 240.107).
3. Students who previously failed any CLAST
subtests are eligible for CLAST exemptions
if they meet the requirements listed above.
CLAST ALTERNATIVE USING
POSTSECONDARY COURSE WORK
Communication
Exemption from the three communication
sections of the CLAST can be achieved by obtaining
a 2.5 grade point average in two courses (a minimum
of six semester hours) from the following courses:
ENC 1101–English I, and
ENC 1102–English II or other equivalent
college-level English course
Computation
Exemption from the computation section of the
CLAST can be achieved by earning a 2.5 grade
point average (a minimum of six semester hours)
in any two of the following: MAC 1105–College
Algebra, or any other MAC course with the last
three digits higher than 105*; MGF 1106–Liberal

College Preparatory Program
The college preparatory program is oriented
toward individual differences in students, rather
than to academic conformity to the subject matter.
It was developed on the premise that the student in
this program needs simultaneous assistance in
basic academic skills (reading, mathematics,
grammar and composition), personal enrichment,
and adjustment to self and society. The program
provides this assistance through college preparatory
courses drawn from the areas of English, reading,
and mathematics, as well as through individualized
workshops in counseling and communications.
College preparatory students are assigned college
preparatory classes as indicated by placement
scores. The three areas of college preparatory
instruction are mathematics, English (writing), and
reading. Students who are assigned college prep
instruction may take a limited number of collegelevel courses in each curriculum area as follows:
A. A student assigned to college prep
mathematics may not register for any
college-level mathematics course until the
college prep requirement in mathematics is
successfully completed. Additionally, no
course with a mathematics prerequisite or
corequisite may be taken.
B. A student assigned to college prep English
or reading may not register for college-level
English (ENC 1101, Freshman Composition
Skills I) until the college prep requirement
has been successfully completed. In addition,
no course which has ENC 1101 as a prerequisite or corequisite may be taken.
C. A student assigned to college prep reading
may not take any college-level reading
course or ENC 1101 until the college prep
requirement has been successfully completed.
In addition, no course which has ENC 1101
as a prerequisite or corequisite may be taken.
D. ENC 0001C and ENC 0010C (college prep
English) and REA 0001C and REA 0002C
(college prep reading) form the second or
advanced level in the ESL (English as a
Second Language) program. A student
participating in the ESL program may not
take college level courses, except as noted
in item B above.
All students required to enroll in a college
preparatory course may elect to seek an alternative
source for remedial instruction. The alternatives
may include but not be limited to a private provider,
Continuing Education, or the Learning Support
Center.
Any student who tests into any college
preparatory course or who selects an alternative
method of instruction is encouraged to begin
enrolling immediately in the college preparatory
coursework and maintain continuous enrollment in
college preparatory coursework until all college
preparatory requirements have been satisfied.
Once a student completes 12 credit hours of college
level coursework, the student will then be permitted
to enroll only in college preparatory coursework
until all prep requirements have been satisfied.
Students should enroll in at least one college
preparatory course in their first semester. A student
may take other appropriate college-level courses in
addition to college preparatory courses if a student
chooses to do so. However, all college preparatory
courses must be completed prior to enrolling in
more than 12 hours of college-level courses.
Failure to comply with this rule will affect a
student’s ability to enroll in college-level courses
and may affect a student’s financial aid award.
Students enrolled in a college preparatory
course may take the computerized placement test
(CPT) once every 30 days, after the completion of
their current term of enrollment or at any time
between semesters. Students who attain scores
that qualify for entry into regular college credit
courses will be allowed to register for such courses
their subsequent semester of enrollment at CFCC.
Students are required to present passing scores
on a computerized placement test to show that
basic computation and/or communication skills
have been met.
Florida statute F.S. 1009.28 requires CFCC to
charge the full cost of instruction to students
enrolled in the same college-preparatory class more
than twice. However, extenuating circumstances
may qualify for an exception to the increased fee.
An exception based on extenuating circumstances
may be used only once for each course.
College Preparatory Courses
College preparatory courses do not meet the
General Education requirements and are nontransferable electives. They cannot be used to
meet the 60 hour graduation requirement. College
credit is not given for these courses. Students must
continually enroll in required preparatory courses
until all requirements are completed.

ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
Associate in Arts
Transfer Guarantees
Community college Associate in Arts graduates
are guaranteed certain rights under the statewide
articulation agreement (Rule 6A-10.024). The
articulation agreement governs the transfer of
students from Florida public community colleges
into the State University System. The agreement
addresses GENERAL ADMISSION to the State
University System and PROGRAM ADMISSION
to selected programs at a university.
General Admission
Guarantees:
The articulation agreement designates the
Associate in Arts degree as the transfer degree.
In doing so, the agreement guarantees that:
A. Community college A.A. degree holders will
be granted admission to a university within
the State University System, but not necessarily to the university or program of choice.
B. Upon transferring to a state university, A.A.
degree graduates will be awarded 60 credit
hours toward the baccalaureate degree.
C. Generally, the university catalog in effect the
year the A.A. degree student first enrolled at
the community college will remain in effect
for the student’s entire program, provided
the student maintains continuous enrollment
as defined in that catalog and completes the
program within the university’s specified time
61
frame. Note: Certain changes in law may
affect the catalog.
D. Once a student has completed the general
education requirements and this is so noted
on the transcript, regardless of whether an
A.A. degree is awarded, no other state
university or community college to which the
student may transfer can require additional
courses to the general education requirements.
E. When transferring among institutions participating in the Statewide Course Numbering
System, a receiving institution must accept
all courses taken at the transfer institution if
the same course with the same course
number is offered at the receiving institution.
F. Credits earned through articulated acceleration mechanisms, such as dual
enrollment, International Baccalaureate,
early admission, advanced placement, and
credit by examination, that are earned within
the A.A. degree at the community college,
will be transferable to the state university.
Students without an A.A. degree who are seeking
admission to a state university do not have all the
protection provided by the articulation agreement
and may be denied admission or lose credit when
transferring. In most cases, students without an
A.A. degree will have to meet freshman admissions
standards.
Program Admission
General
The universities determine the courses and
prerequisites that must be taken in order to receive
a baccalaureate degree for a chosen program.
Although all credit earned toward an A.A. degree
will transfer to a university, not all credit may satisfy
the program prerequisites or the course requirements
for a baccalaureate degree. Therefore, it is important
to know the program requirements and to take as
many of these courses as possible at the community
college while completing the A.A. degree.
Limited Access
Because of demand or limited resources, most
of the universities have programs that are called
limited access programs. Admission to limited
access programs is granted on a competitive basis.
Consequently, limited access programs have
additional admission requirements that are more
restrictive than the universities’ general admission
requirements. These requirements include one
62
or more of the following: minimum grade point
averages, test scores, prerequisite courses, auditions
and portfolios.
Guarantees
Neither Associate in Arts graduates nor native
university students are guaranteed admission to
limited access programs. However, the articulation
agreement does provide certain guarantees,
including that:
A. The community college student will have
the same opportunity to enroll in a university
limited access program as the native
university student.
B. Selection and enrollment criteria for a
university limited access program must be
established and published in catalogs,
counseling manuals, and other appropriate
publications. Changes in program enrollment
criteria must be given with sufficient advance
notice for prospective students to adjust their
programs to meet the new criteria.
Should any of these guarantees be denied, the
student has the right to file an appeal. Each state
university and community college has established
appeal procedures. These procedures must be
published in the university catalog. As a general
rule, if a student is denied admission to a university
or a program at the university and wants to appeal,
the appeal must be initiated at the university
admissions office.
Admission Appeals
If a student is accepted into a university, but is
denied admission to a program, the university must
state the reasons for the denial. This is usually
done in a letter from the dean of the college,
school or department. Any request for further
clarification should include:
A. A copy of the letter of denial.
B. A copy of the student’s transcripts.
C. A copy of the page(s) from the counseling
manual or catalog outlining the program
requirements.
D. A signed statement requesting a review of
the denial.
Students should keep a copy of all correspondence
and a log of all telephone contacts. A copy of all of
the above information should be forwarded to the
university admissions office and the university
articulation officer.
Articulation Officers
The university articulation officer is responsible
for assisting the community college student seeking
admission to a university. If assistance is needed
with an appeal request or if it appears that a
department is not complying with the statewide
articulation agreement, the university articulation
officer should be contacted. Articulation officers at
the community colleges are also responsible for
assisting in the transfer of students to universities
and can advise students in the interpretation of
the articulation agreement and appealing an
admissions decision.
Appealing to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee
If the denial is upheld at the university level and
there is still a question of potential violation of the
articulation agreement, the student may request
a hearing before the Articulation Coordinating
Committee (Florida Education Center, Tallahassee,
Florida, 32399-0400). All of the avenues available
to the student at the institutional level should be
pursued prior to appealing to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee. The student should keep
a copy of all correspondence and a log of all
telephone contacts. The procedures for filing such
an appeal with the Articulation Coordinating
Committee are as follows:
A. The student submits a statement of the
problem, a copy of the letter of denial from the
university, a copy of the transcript in question,
a copy of the page(s) from the catalog or
counseling manual, and a request to have a
hearing before the Articulation Coordinating
Committee for purposes of adjudication.
B. All student appeals and policy concerns
are reviewed by the Articulation Appeals
Subcommittee, which then forwards its
recommendation(s) to the Articulation
Coordinating Committee. Issues not resolved
by the subcommittee are sent to the full
committee for resolution.
C. The Articulation Coordinating Committee
and Articulation Appeals Subcommittee may
request the appearance of representatives
or statements from the receiving or sending
institution to provide additional information
or clarification on the issue.
division deans, and copies are simultaneously sent to all persons involved, including
the student. The decision of the Articulation
Coordinating Committee shall be final.
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
In addition to common core requirements noted
on page 52, Associate in Science (A.S.) degree
students must:
A. Complete the specified number of hours of
credit in an approved course of study as
outlined for the program.
B. Achieve a cumulative grade point average of
at least 2.0 (“C”).
C. Complete at least 25 percent of semester
hours in residence at CFCC and attend
during the semester the degree is earned.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
A student’s standing at Central Florida
Community College will be determined by the
relationship of hours attempted to grade points
earned. To be considered in good standing and
continue successfully toward a degree, a student
must earn the grade points necessary to maintain
a 2.0 (“C”) cumulative grade point average while
at CFCC.
CFCC Unit of Credit
Central Florida Community College awards
semester credits. One semester credit is normally
given for a class that meets an average of 50
minutes per meeting for approximately 17 weeks.
Semester credits are also given during the two
six-week summer terms, as well as during special
mini-terms.

Grade Point Deficit
A grade point deficit is the difference between
the grade points needed for a “C” average and the
grade points earned on hours attempted. The
following examples demonstrate this concept.
It should be noted that a student can go from a
position of good standing to academic warning,
probation or suspension within one semester.

To maintain in good standing, a “C” average, which is
equal to two grade points per credit hour, must be
maintained. The total credits attempted multiplied by two
will establish the minimum number of grade points needed.
From the grade record listed above on 12 credit hours, 12
times two (for a “C” average) = 24 grade points. Since 30
grade points were earned, this student is in good standing.

This student earned 11 grade points in the second term.
Added to the 30 grade points from the first semester, the
student has earned 41 grade points. For the 27 credit hours
attempted (12 + 15 = 27), the student would need 54 grade
points (27 times 2) to maintain a “C” average. Therefore,
this student has a 13 grade point deficit (54 – 41 = 13) and
will be placed on academic probation.

In this example, the student earned six grade points on
13 semester hours. Thus, 13 times 2 = 26 grade points
needed for a “C” average. Since only six grade points were
earned, this student would have a 20 point deficit and,
therefore, would be suspended after just one semester.
GPA calculation using CFCC
transcript information
Quality = the number of hours attempted that
are calculated for GPA purposes (excludes courses
with grades of “W” and “N,” as well as “preparatory
courses” and courses that have been “repeated.”)
Points = the number of grade points earned for
GPA calculation purposes.
Academic Warning, Probation
and Suspension
Students with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA
shall be placed on academic warning if they have
a grade point deficit of nine or less.
Students with less than a 2.0 GPA shall be
placed on academic probation if they have a
grade point deficit of 10 or more but less than 20.
These students must schedule an appointment
with an advisor or counselor for advisement and
registration.
Students with a grade point deficit of 20 or
more shall be suspended for a minimum of one
full semester and then must petition the college
for readmittance. Call the Student Advising
department for assistance.
Academic Dismissal
Students returning after suspension will be
on probation. Any student who is suspended a
subsequent time will be dismissed from the college.
Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted to
the college for a minimum of one full calendar year.
The student may then petition the college for possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent
upon clear written evidence of factors that indicate
promise of successful performance.
Students returning from suspension or dismissal
who earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or above will not
be suspended for that particular semester, even
though they may have an overall deficit of more
than 20 grade points. Their performance shows
promise and, if continued, will result in good
academic standing. Under these circumstances,
such a student will continue on academic probation.
Transferring to CFCC with
Deficit Grade Points
All transfer students will be evaluated by these
standards of progress, using the same criteria
used for non-transfer students. Transfer students
entering with deficit grade points will be assigned
to the appropriate category, e.g., academic warning
64
or probation. They will return to good standing
when sufficient grade points have been earned to
achieve a “C” average.
Earning Credit While Suspended
A student while under suspension from another
institution may not enroll at CFCC, and a student
while under suspension from CFCC may not earn
credits toward a degree from this institution by taking
courses at another institution.
Standards of Progress Summary
Academic Warning . . . . . . . . . . . . .1–9 grade point deficit
Academic Probation . . . . . . . . . .10–19 grade point deficit
Academic Suspension . . . . .20 or more grade point deficit
Provisions for Appeal
Any student who feels there were extraordinary
circumstances that led to a 20 or more grade point
deficit may appeal his or her suspension status to the
Student Petitions and Academic Review Committee.
A student (credit, occupational or audit) who
withdraws from all classes must begin official
withdrawal procedures by contacting a counselor or
advisor. The college calendar gives specific deadlines for withdrawing from college without penalty.
WORKFORCE
CERTIFICATE STUDENTS
A student’s academic standing is determined by
the same method as outlined in the section under
College Credit Division. Program instructors may
authorize a student to re-enroll for one additional
semester if the student is suspended after only one
semester. Failure to achieve satisfactory progress
during the semester of re-enrollment will result in
permanent suspension.
VETERANS
See section on Veterans, pages 49–50, for
specific information.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular, punctual class attendance is the
responsibility of every student who enrolls at
Central Florida Community College. Likewise, the
institution is committed to enforcing the attendance
policy in an effort to assist students in achieving
their educational objectives. The documentation of
student absences will begin the first class day,
regardless of when the student registers. When a
student has a legitimate reason for being absent,
the instructor has the option of permitting the
student to make up work missed and may require
an explanation for absence.
The college reserves the right to evaluate
individual cases of non-attendance. In general,
students are graded on the basis of intellectual
effort and performance. Class participation is a
significant measure of performance, and nonattendance can adversely affect a student’s grade.
Attendance at authorized off-campus student
activities (such as student organization meetings or
athletic events) is permitted to count toward class
attendance or approved absence on the instructor’s
class records. Students must give advance notice
of the intended absence, within guidelines set
by the individual instructor, in order to have the
opportunity to prepare assignments and make up
or avoid missing tests. Faculty members are
expected to establish non-punitive policies toward
attendance at such college-sponsored, off-campus
student activities such as student organization
meetings or athletic events.
If conflicts exist between a student’s regularlyscheduled class and another activity (including the
requirements of other classes), the student’s
regularly-scheduled class should receive priority.
Instructors understand that students may be given
extra credit for such events, but no student will be
penalized for non-attendance.
If a student accumulates so many absences
that further enrollment in a course appears to be
of little value, the instructor has the right to drop
the student from the course.
Students enrolled in occupational certificate
programs are permitted two unexcused absences
within any attendance month. Students who exceed
this number of unexcused absences may be placed
on probation and, if additional unexcused absences
occur, dropped from the program. The instructor
determines whether or not an absence is excused,
considering such factors as sickness, accidents and
other contingencies beyond the control of the student.
Students enrolling in certain technical programs,
e.g., nursing, criminal justice, and cosmetology, are
expected to meet specific guidelines.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
GRADING SYSTEM
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
Students are responsible for computing their
own GPA. The transcript and degree audit should
be carefully checked, and, if discrepancies exist,
the Office of Admissions and Records should be
notified immediately.
65
A Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated
based on the number of hours attempted per
course and the grade point value associated with
the letter grade. Example:
Course
Credit Grade
Grade Points
English
3
A
4.00 (x 3) = 12.0

F
0.00 (x 3) = 0.0
Psychology

C
2.00 (x 3) = 6.0
Total Credits: 12
Total Grade Points: 29.3
Divide 29.3 (grade points) by 12 (credits) = 2.4 GPA.
GRADING SCALE
Instructors must announce, in writing, at the
beginning of each semester, specific grading
policies for each class. At the end of each semester
final grades are assigned and recorded on the
student’s permanent record card. Grades assigned

Students registered in college prep courses who
receive “N” grades must repeat the same course
and complete it with a grade of “C” or better, or
achieve a passing score on the CPT before they
can register for other courses.
“I” GRADES
When the grade of “I” is issued it is the student’s
responsibility to meet with the instructor and make
the necessary arrangements for completing the
course work. An ‘Incomplete “I” Grade Course
Completion Arrangement form’ must be submitted
at the time of grading for each course in which the
grade of “I” is issued. A final date for the completion
of all work must be agreed upon and cannot be
more than six (6) months past the date of the form.
If the course work is completed by the student by
the deadline, the instructor will forward a new
grade to the Office of Admissions and Records
within one week after receiving the completed
information from the student. If the course work is
not completed by the agreed upon date, the
Registrar will post the grade listed on the form as
the final grade on the student’s permanent record.
FINAL GRADES
Final grade reports are available on the Web at
the end of each semester. Only grades issued at
the end of a semester are placed on a student’s
permanent record. Final grade reports include a
cumulative grade point average.
GRADE APPEAL
PROCESS GUIDELINES
Any student wishing to appeal a grade must
follow, in consecutive order, the levels of instruction
shown below:
Level I A student who believes a course grade
has been awarded unfairly or in error will
discuss the concern with the instructor
within thirty (30) calendar days from the
time the grade is awarded. (Note: In the
event the instructor is not available
within 30 days after the grade is awarded,
the student may notify the instructor’s
supervisor within the 30-day period.)
Level II If the matter cannot be resolved
between the instructor and the student,
the student may request a meeting with
the instructor’s supervisor.
Level III In the event the student is not satisfied
at the Level II decision, the student has
the right to present the concern to the
Chief Academic Officer (CAO). If the
student wishes to exercise this right,
then, within five (5) working days after
the written Level II decision, the student
must deliver a copy of the Grade Appeal
Form with the appropriate documentation
and a copy of the written decision from
the instructor’s supervisor (Level II) to
the CAO.
Within ten (10) working days from receipt
of the Grade Appeal, the CAO will
determine if further review is warranted.
If the CAO determines that it is not, the
CAO will render a final written decision
to the student. If the CAO determines
that further review is warranted, the CAO
will ask the President to convene a
Grade Appeals Committee.
The Committee will make its decision
based on the Grade Appeals Form and
the attached documentation, the written
decision of the supervisor, and the
information presented by the student and
the instructor and their witnesses. The
Grade Appeals Committee will deliver a
recommendation to the CAO. The CAO
has the right to reject or accept the
recommendation. The decision of the CAO
will be final and binding on all parties.
GRADE FORGIVENESS POLICY
The forgiveness policy permits a student to
repeat a course in an attempt to improve a grade
of “D” or “F” earned in the course. Only the last
grade earned in a repeated course will be computed
into the student’s grade point average (GPA). On
the transcript, “repeated” shows the initial attempts
and “replaces prior course” indicates the last
attempt. The student will be limited to three attempts
(two repeats) per course with a grade being given
for the third attempt [F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(b)].
Withdrawals and audits count as attempts after the
add/drop period. Withdrawals will not be used to
increase a GPA.
1. Grade forgiveness is limited to courses
where a grade of “D” or “F” was earned.
F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 2(a). Courses with a
grade of “C” or better will not be granted
grade forgiveness.
2. Grade forgiveness is limited to the first two (2)
attempts at a course. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 2(b).
3. A student will be permitted a maximum of
two (2) withdrawals per course. Upon the
third attempt, the student will not be permitted
to withdraw and will receive a grade for that
course. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(b).
4. A student enrolled in the same undergraduate
college-credit course more than twice shall
pay tuition at 100 percent of the full cost of
instruction, and shall not be included in
calculations of full-time equivalent enrollments
for state funding purposes. F.S. 1009.285.
5. A student may have only three (3) attempts
per course including the original grade,
repeat grades and withdrawals at any point
in the semester. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 3.
6. The student should check with the Office
of Financial Aid about the possible consequences of repeating a course in regard to
financial aid.
7. If the student plans to transfer to another
institution, he or she must check with that
institution regarding acceptance of
“forgiveness” courses in the computation
of the student’s GPA.
ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
67
8. Courses that are designated as repeatable,
such as choir, music or journalism, or are
individualized courses of study, may not be
eligible for grade forgiveness. (F.A.C. 6A14.03012(d).)
WITHDRAWAL
7. High School Dual Enrollment Students
MUST complete the High School Dual
Enrollment Withdrawal Form being sure to
include the high school guidance counselor’s
or home school parent’s signature.
1. The student may withdraw without academic
penalty from any course by the mid-point in
the semester. F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(a).
(Check the appropriate dates in the college
calendar for withdrawal deadlines.)
2. The student will be permitted a maximum of
two (2) withdrawals per course. Upon the
third attempt, the student will not be
permitted to withdraw and will receive a
grade for that course. F.S. 1009.28 and
F.A.C. 6A-14.0301 1(b).
3. Preparatory students who have completed
12 hours of college credit coursework must
maintain continuous enrollment in college
preparatory coursework each semester and
may not withdraw from their sole preparatory
course while remaining in other college
credit coursework. F.S. 1008.30 4(a) and
F.A.C. 6A-10.315(20).
4. Audit students can withdraw at any time.
5. A student (credit, college credit certificate or
audit) who withdraws from all classes must
begin official withdrawal procedures by
seeing an advisor or program facilitator. The
college calendar gives specific deadlines for
withdrawing from the college.
In keeping with Florida Administrative Rule
6A-14.0541, Central Florida Community College will
consider a petition for refund of fees for a course
after the official drop period when the student
withdraws due to circumstances determined by the
College to be exceptional and beyond the control
of the student. There are three semesters in the
academic year: fall, spring and summer. The College
will consider a student’s petition through the end of
the semester following the semester in which
the student withdrew because of extraordinary
circumstances. After the end of the semester
following withdrawal, no petition will be accepted
without the approval of the Vice President for
Student Affairs.
Any student wishing to petition for a refund of
fees due to exceptional circumstances may
complete a Student Petition Form in the Office of
Enrollment Services on the appropriate campus.
6. CFCC instructors may or may not initiate a
request to withdraw a student from his or
her class (please check with individual
instructors for their policy.) Instructors who
are willing to initiate the request to withdraw
a student from his or her class need to do
so on or before the withdrawal deadline that
is published by the college.
Students should be aware of the graduation
requirements. These include the core curriculum,
payment of all fees, and any work required in
special programs. It is the student’s responsibility to
determine the courses necessary for transfer to
any upper division college or university and to
meet any prerequisite courses required by those
upper division programs. Students must see an
advisor/counselor for a graduation check.
NOTE: A withdrawal may not be processed
if the request is for: the student’s third
attempt at a course, the removal of a sole
preparatory course if the student has earned
12 college credits, or if the student is a high
school dual enrollment student and the
permission of the high school counselor,
home school parent and CFCC dual
enrollment advisor are not granted.
Withdrawal(s) may be reversed and a grade
issued for a course as a disciplinary action
68
resulting from breeching the College’s
Academic Integrity and Honor Code.

Guard fee waivers.
Students who have been awarded financial aid
or are eligible for Bright Futures may have their
tuition and fees deferred at the time of registration.
However, if financial aid is denied or the award
does not cover a student’s financial obligation, the
student will be responsible for payment of the
outstanding obligation. All debts incurred due to
denial or insufficient coverage must be satisfied no
later than 60 days after the start of the term.
Student financial responsibilities include library
fines and obligations, traffic fines, returned checks,
student loan repayment, and return of borrowed
college equipment. Unless all fees and financial
responsibilities have been satisfied, a student may
not register for a subsequent term and, in some
cases, the student may be prohibited from attending
classes in the current term. Additionally, official
student transcripts will not be released until all
obligations have been satisfied.
The student fees are in effect at the date of
printing of this catalog. They are subject to
change by action of the Florida Legislature and
the college District Board of Trustees. Each
term the college will have available, prior to
registration a listing of current student fees.
Returned checks must be paid within seven (7)
days from receipt of the notice. The full amount
of the returned check plus a service charge
dependent upon the face amount of the check
will be due. If the returned check is not paid within
the time specified, it will be given to the State
Attorney’s office for collection.
Note: See Web registration guide each term for
update on fees.
Florida Statute 1009.28 requires CFCC to
charge full cost of instruction for a student to
72
repeat, for the third time, a college preparatory
course in English, reading, or mathematics. However,
due to financial hardship and/or extenuating
circumstances, a student may be able to qualify for
an exception to the increased fee. An exception
based on extenuating circumstances may be used
only once for each course.

*Note: to calculate fees for programs made up
of vocational clock hours, divide the clock hours by
30 to determine the number of vocational credit
hours and multiply the credit hours times the
appropriate Total Per Vocational Credit Hour charge.
Example, a 60 vocational clock hour course divided
by 30 = 2 vocational credits multiplied by the Total
Per Vocational Credit Hour for Florida residents of
$60.38 = $120.76 as the charge for the course.

The President is authorized to approve fees for
continuing workforce education programs, recreation
and lifelong learning programs on a course-bycourse basis. For continuing workforce education
courses, the President will establish fees that equal
at least 50% of the total annual cost of the supplemental vocational program. The fees for recreation
and lifelong learning programs will generate at
least the direct cost of instruction. The President
will annually report to the District Board of Trustees
the amount of fees collected and the accumulated
cost of the respective programs.

Refund Policy (CFCC)
For credit and vocational education classes,
petitions for refunds and withdrawal from the
college are available in the offices of Admissions
and Records, Enrollment Services, the Vice
President for Student Affairs, and the Citrus
Campus Enrollment Services Office. It is the
student’s responsibility to initiate official withdrawal,
and the official date of withdrawal will be
determined by the date the completed form is
returned to the office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs. Regardless of when the refund is
applied for, no refund will be processed before 30
days have elapsed from the date of the refund
form, or two weeks after the end of the
Add/Drop Date, whichever is the greater time
period.
Credit, occupational and audit students
who officially withdraw and complete a proper
refund petition through the office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs will receive refunds
according to the following schedule:
100 percent: When official drop notification is
received and approved prior to the end of the
published drop/add period.
Up to 100 percent: The refund will be affected
by the portion of the term completed. When a
student drops a course after the official drop period
due to circumstances determined by the college to
be exceptional and beyond the control of the
student, which may include but not be limited to:
A. Illness of the student of such severity or
duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude completion of the course(s).
FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
B. Death of the student or the student’s parent,
spouse, child or sibling.
C. Involuntary call to active military duty.
D. A situation in which the college is in error.
E. A change of a course or section(s) initiated
by the college because of cancellation, time
or location.
F. Other circumstances that may be approved
upon timely filing with complete documentation with the division of Student Affairs.
There are three terms in the academic year: fall,
spring and summer. The College will consider a
student’s petition through the end of the term
following the term in which the student withdrew
because of extraordinary circumstances. After the
end of the term following withdrawal, no petition will
be accepted without the approval of the Vice
President for Student Affairs.
For continuing education and corporate training
classes, students must request a refund by the
second scheduled class meeting to receive a full
refund. The refund request must be made in writing.
No refund is available after the second class meeting,
for non-credit courses bearing fees of $5.00 or
less, or for non-credit workshops, seminars or clinics.
83
Pro-Rata Refunds
Campus-based programs will be refunded
using pro-rated formula to comply with federal
regulations defined in Reauthorization of the
Higher Education Act.
Withdrawals and Repayment
of Title IV Funds
Federal Regulations require institutions to
calculate the amount of federal financial aid a
student earned if a student withdraws from all of
their coursework in any given term. In addition, at
the end of a term, if a student has not successfully
completed any coursework, the institution must
confirm that the student did attend the courses for
which the student received financial aid.
When a student who receives a net disbursement of Title IV funds ceases attendance prior to
the 60 percent point in the payment period, CFCC
will determine whether the student must repay a
portion of the net disbursement. A statutory pro-rata
schedule will be used to determine the percentage
of Title IV funds the student has earned at the time
of withdrawal. Federal Work Study funds are
excluded in the calculation.
If a student withdraws after completing at least
60 percent of the term, it is assumed that the
student’s living expenses up to the time of withdrawal
exceeded the amount of the funds disbursed and
the student does not owe a repayment. However, if
the disbursement was greater than the student’s
expenses up to the withdrawal date, the student
must repay the excess amount or a portion of the
excess amount as applicable.
The percentage formula is: total number of
calendar days completed in the payment period
divided by the total number of calendar days in the
payment period equals the percentage of Title IV
funds earned.
The institution must return the lesser of the
amount of Title IV funds that the student does not
earn or the amount of institutional charges (tuition
and fees) that the student incurred for the payment
period multiplied by the percentage of funds that
was not earned.
The student (or parent, if a Federal Direct PLUS
loan) must return or repay the remaining unearned
Title IV program grant or loan funds. The student’s
grant repayment is reduced by half when he or she,
rather than the institution, must return grant funds.
CFCC will notify the student, in writing, of the
amount owed, procedure for repayment and
84
consequences of non-payment within the allotted
time frame.
Order of return of Title IV funds. Unearned
funds returned by the school or student are credited
to outstanding Title IV loan balances for the student
or made on the student’s behalf. Funds must be
credited to outstanding balances in the following order:
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan
Subsidized Federal Direct Loan
Federal Direct PLUS Loan
Remaining funds. If excess funds remain after
repaying all outstanding loan amounts, then the
remaining amount is credited to grant programs in
the following order:
Federal Pell grant
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)
Federal SEOG
Other Title IV assistance
Detailed information on repayments is available
in the Financial Aid office.
These policies are subject to change by action of
the United States Department of Education (USDOE).
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
PURPOSE OF FINANCIAL AID
The primary purpose of financial aid is to
provide assistance to students who have a
demonstrated financial need as determined by an
approved need-analysis system, or who show
academic or special talent. Awards may come from
any combination of grants, scholarships, loans or
part-time employment. The financial aid awarded to
a student may be from federal, state, institutional or
local funds. Students interested in applying for
financial assistance should complete a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online
at www.fafsa.ed.gov. To be given full consideration
for all aid programs, applications should be filed
prior to May 1 of each calendar year for the
academic year beginning that August. Student
consumer information and all applications are
available in the Enrollment Services Center at any
of our campuses. Questions concerning financial
aid should be addressed to the campus Enrollment
Services Center.
GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
All financial aid is dependent upon the availability
of federal, state, local and institutional resources.
To be eligible for financial aid, a student must:
1. Be accepted as a degree-seeking student in
an A.A. or A.S. degree program, or
2. Be accepted as a certificate-seeking student

PAYMENT OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid award amounts may be adjusted
based on the student’s enrollment status, which is
determined after the drop-only deadline listed in
the Registration Calendar in the official catalog or,
in the case of late awards, at the time the award is
approved. A financial aid recipient must be meeting
all eligibility requirements at the time payment
is made.
Fees, books, VA deferments and/or promissory
notes outstanding at the time payment is made will
be deducted from the financial aid payment. If a
balance is available, a refund will be issued by
Higher One, Inc. via the CFCC OneCard. Visit
www.cfcconecard.com for additional information.
Address changes should be updated to help ensure
timely receipt of financial aid funds. Address
changes can be made by completing a student
information update form in the Enrollment Services
Center.
If you are receiving your financial aid award after
you have completed the term, aid will be paid only
for courses that have been completed successfully.
FINANCIAL
INFORMATION

DEFINITION OF AN AWARD YEAR
The financial aid award year starts in the beginning
of the fall term (usually August) and continues
through to the end of the summer term (usually
July), with the exception of Federal Work Study.
The Federal Work Study award year begins July 1
and ends June 30.
COLLEGE-PREPARATORY COURSES
Required college-preparatory coursework can
be counted in the student’s enrollment for financial
aid purposes. However, once a student has attempted
30 hours of preparatory coursework, the student is
not eligible for aid for any additional preparatory
coursework. If a student must take additional
preparatory credit hours, the student will not receive
aid for those credit hours and those hours will not
be included in the determination of enrollment for
financial aid purposes.
ELIGIBLE COURSEWORK AND
REPEAT COURSEWORK
Repeated coursework and coursework not
required for a student’s program of study will
impact a students’ aid award. Students may not
receive financial aid for coursework that is not
required for their major and/or not among approved
electives for their current program of study. If a student is taking coursework not required for his/her
program of study, the students’ enrollment status
will be adjusted for aid purposes. In addition,
repeated coursework where a grade has been
previously assessed is, in most cases, ineligible for
aid. The student will be ineligible for aid for the
repeated coursework and the students’ enrollment
status will be adjusted for aid purposes.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
FOR FINANCIAL AID PURPOSES
All students receiving any form of financial aid
must meet the standards of progress outlined below.
The requirements for those standards are set by
federal regulations (34 CFR Section 668.19).
There are three satisfactory progress
requirements:
1. You must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative
overall grade point average, and
2. You must have successfully completed at
least 67% of the courses you have attempted
at all colleges, and
3. You may not exceed 150% of the published
length of your declared program of study.
86
If you have attended any other college(s), the
courses you took there will be considered in the
evaluation of your progress.
For financial aid purposes, remaining enrolled in
a course for credit beyond the official refund
deadline counts as an attempt. All attempted
courses are counted, even if taken as part of a
different degree program.
For financial aid purposes, successful completion
of a course means an earned grade of “A,” “B,” or
“C;” a grade of “D” is passing below average and
will negatively impact your grade point average.
A successful completion ratio is 67% or greater
and the formula for calculating the completion
ratio is:
Cumulative hours earned ÷ hours attempted =
completion ratio.
Satisfactory Academic Progress will be evaluated
at the end of each term.
If you do not meet the Standards of Satisfactory
Academic Progress due to your grade point average
or completion ratio, you will be placed on Financial
Aid Probation for one term. If you do not meet the
requirements by the end of your probation term,
you will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension
and will not be eligible for further financial aid until
you meet the minimum requirements. You will need
to pay for the courses you take while you are under
Financial Aid Suspension. If you have attempted
150% of the hours needed for your degree or
certificate program, you no longer will be eligible
for financial aid. No probationary period will be
given unless an appeal is granted.
You do have the right to appeal a Financial Aid
Suspension if you have extenuating circumstances.
Appeal forms are available on the web or in the
Enrollment Services Center on each campus.
Completed appeal forms and supporting
documentation of your extenuating circumstances
will be required. Appeal forms must be submitted to
a campus Enrollment Services Center by the
Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Deadline provided
on the form. You will be notified in writing of the
decision. The decisions are final and can not be
appealed. Students notified of decisions in their
favor are placed on Financial Aid Probation for one
semester. At the end of the semester, the student
will have to meet minimum standards or submit
another appeal with documentation by the
deadline date.
If you are placed on Financial Aid Suspension
due to your grade point average or completion ratio
and you do not have extenuating circumstances or
your appeal is denied, you may reinstate your
eligibility for financial aid by bringing your progress
up to the minimum requirements. You will need to
pay for the course(s) you take while under Financial
Aid Suspension.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
You must reapply for financial aid for each
academic year.
1. Be degree-seeking or certificate-seeking in
an eligible certificate program at CFCC.
2. Provide the Office of Admissions and
Records with an official copy of your high
school transcript or GED and, if you are a
college transfer student, provide an official
copy of your transcript from each institution
you attended. Transfer course work must be
evaluated before an award can be made.
3. Complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it to the
federal processor. CFCC’s federal school
code number is 001471. In order for CFCC to
process your financial aid, you must include
this number on your FAFSA. You may submit
the FAFSA using one of the following methods:
a. World Wide Web address
www.fafsa.ed.gov (allow at least two
weeks for processing).
b. Regular mail (allow at least four weeks for
processing).
4. Research and apply for scholarships.
Other important application information:
Verification—The federal government requires
that some applications be reviewed for accuracy
through a process called “verification.” If you are
selected for this process, you will be required to
complete a verification worksheet and provide
other income information to include copies of the
tax returns for individuals whose income was
included on your application. You will be notified
through the mail if you have been selected for
verification. Your financial aid file will not be
considered complete and ready for awarding until
all verification documents have been received
and processed.
Federal eligibility matches—The federal
processor matches your name, date of birth and
social security number with a variety of federal
agencies. Agency matches are performed against
the files of the Social Security Administration,
Department of Homeland Security, Selective Service, Veterans Administration and the National
Student Loan Data System. If any discrepancies or
questions about your information occur, you will be
asked to provide additional documents or take
additional action to confirm your eligibility for
federal assistance. The federal processor will notify
you on your Student Aid Report (SAR) of the
results of these matches and whether additional
information is required in order for your application
to be processed.

technical assistance with computer applications.
Approximately 100 computers at the Ocala Campus

96
requirements predominantly away from the campus
asynchronously via the Internet. Some on-campus
meetings may be necessary depending upon the

of time and place. Students who enroll in online
classes must have access to a computer with
Internet access. Required skills include basic word
processing and the ability to utilize e-mail. In order
to be successful, online learners must be able to
work independently with minimal supervision. For
some online classes, meetings for orientation,
testing and review are held on campus.
ITV (Interactive TV) Courses: ITV courses are
distributed live through videoconferencing equipment
from one campus to another.
Hybrid Courses: Hybrid courses are combinations
of online, ITV or traditional face-to-face classroom
instruction. A designated percentage of the class is

STUDENT ADVISING
The mission of Academic Advising at CFCC is to
provide students with comprehensive individualized
and group services that support academic
achievement, retention, graduation, university
transfer, employment and personal success.
Students who need special assistance developing
an academic plan through graduation and beyond
may schedule an appointment with an advisor in
their program division or in the Enrollment Services
Center. Students may also receive assistance with
a question or problem concerning course selection,
registration, their academic progress or a graduation
check. Questions or requests for assistance in
transferring to a four-year institution should be
directed to the A.A. degree advisors in the Enrollment
Services Center in the Bryant Student Union.
Students planning to transfer to four-year institutions
should begin early in the freshman year to work
with an advisor in planning their course work to
include prerequisites for transfer and any other
admission requirements.
A variety of student support services is available
through the Counseling Department on the Citrus
Campus, including (but not limited to) academic
advisement, testing, career exploration, academic
support, transfer assistance and personal
counseling referrals.
The Educational Advisors in Enrollment Services
on the Ocala Campus are available for assistance
to A.A. degree-seeking students. A.S. and
certificate-seeking students should make an
appointment with the Educational Advisor assigned
to their program of study or area of interest
(Business and Technology, building 40, Criminal
Justice, building 31, and Health and Human
Services, building 35 on the Ocala Campus).
Students seeking advisement for the vocational
programs should go to building 17 on the Ocala
Campus. Counselors/Advisors are also available
on the Citrus Campus and Levy Center and in
CFCC’s TRIO Programs for those who qualify.
An online advising service is also available to
prospective and current students. This 24-hour
service (peak times may take a little longer for a
response) is provided to assist students who have
a quick question or concern that would not require
an in-person appointment. Full educational plans,
degree audits and graduation checks can not be
provided through this service. Go to CFCC’s
web site at www.cf.edu and click on “Prospective or
Current Students,” then click on “Online Advising,”
or just send an e-mail to [email protected].

Continuous enhancements will be made to this
web page.
Access Services
Access Services works with students and
faculty to facilitate the process of reasonable
accommodation for students with documented
disabilities. Students who identify themselves to
Access Services and provide documentation from
a licensed or certified professional may request
accommodations. This includes potential students,
new, transfer or currently enrolled students. To ensure
an effective accommodations process, students
must make their requests in a timely fashion.

basis and may relate to physical access, auxiliary
learning aids or programmatic and classroom
academic adjustments. Auxiliary learning aids may
include American Sign Language interpreters,
scribes, audio textbooks from Recordings for the
Blind and Dyslexic, CCTV, and various adaptive
hardware and software including large screen
monitors and computers with enlarging software,
screen reading software and dictation software.

Descriptions
COURSE
DESCRIPTIONS
149
Courses in this catalog are listed in alpha-numeric
order. Following is a list of the courses usually
offered. The college reserves the right to determine
minimum enrollments in all courses. The term
“credit” as used in references to courses is equal to
one semester hour. Further, it means credit toward a
degree from CFCC and not necessarily credit
transferable to another institution.
COURSE CLASSIFICATION
All credit courses offered by CFCC are designated
in one of the following classifications:
“Gordon Rule” classes are marked with ✒ in
the course description.
College preparatory courses do not count
toward either an A.A. or an A.S. degree and
receive institutional credit only. They may be
used in calculating full-time status for athletic team
participation, financial aid and veterans benefits.
Occupational courses may not count toward
the A.A. degree. They count in full toward the
appropriate A.S. degree.
Parallel courses count toward the A.A.
degree and should transfer readily to any college
or university.
Dual courses count toward the A.A. degree
as part of the 60 hours only if they are appropriate
for the student’s program of study or area of
interest. Students should consult with a counselor
prior to enrolling in a designated dual course.
Students are cautioned against taking excessive
electives or courses out of their major field of study
at the expense of required prerequisites.
FLORIDA’S STATEWIDE
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Courses in this catalog are identified by
prefixes and numbers that were assigned by
Florida’s Statewide Course Numbering System.
This numbering system is used by all public
postsecondary institutions in Florida and 33
participating non-public institutions. The major
purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of
courses between participating institutions.
Each participating institution controls the title,
credit, and content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of the course number to
indicate the level at which students normally take
the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits
of the course numbers are assigned by members
of faculty discipline committees appointed for that
purpose by the Florida Department of Education in
Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve on
these committees are selected to maintain a
representative balance as to type of institution and
discipline field or specialization.
The course prefix and each digit in the course
number have a meaning in the Statewide Course
Numbering System (SCNS). The list of course
prefixes and numbers, along with their generic titles,
is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions
of the content of courses are referred to as “course
equivalency profiles.”

General Rule for Course Equivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are
identified by the same prefixes and same last three
digits of the course number and are guaranteed to
be transferable between participating institutions
that offer the course, with a few exceptions.
(Exceptions are listed below.)
For example, a survey course in social problems
is offered by 35 different postsecondary
institutions. Each institution uses “SYG _010” to
identify its social problems course. The level code

(fourth digit)

Social
Problems
Lab Code
No laboratory
component in
this course
is the first digit and represents the year in which
students normally take the course at a specific
institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, “SYG” means
“Sociology, General,” the century digit “0”
represents “Entry-Level General Sociology,” the
decade digit “1” represents “Survey Course,” and
the unit digit “0” represents “Social Problems.”
In science and other areas, a “C” or “L” after the
course number is known as a lab indicator. The “C”
represents a combined lecture and laboratory
course that meets in the same place at the same
F = Fall
W = Winter
S = Summer
time. The “L” represents a laboratory course or the
laboratory part of a course, having the same prefix
and course number without a lab indicator, which
meets at a different time or place.
Transfer of any successfully completed course
from one institution to another is guaranteed in
cases where the course to be transferred is
equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution.
Equivalencies are established by the same prefix
and last three digits and comparable faculty
credentials at both institutions. For example, SYG
1010 is offered at a community college. The same
course is offered at a state university as SYG 2010.
A student who has successfully completed SYG
1010 at the community college is guaranteed to
receive transfer credit for SYG 2010 at the state
university if the student transfers. The student
cannot be required to take SYG 2010 again since
SYG 1010 is equivalent to SYG 2010. Transfer credit
must be awarded for successfully completed
equivalent courses and used by the receiving
institution to determine satisfaction of requirements
by transfer students on the same basis as credit
awarded to the native students. It is the prerogative
of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer
credit for courses successfully completed which
have not been designated as equivalent.
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for
a major division of an academic discipline, subject
matter area, or sub-category of knowledge. The
prefix is not intended to identify the department in
which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a
course determines the assigned prefix used to
identify the course.
Authority for Acceptance
of Equivalent Courses
Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states:
Any student who transfers among
postsecondary institutions that are fully
accredited by a regional or national
accrediting agency recognized by the United
States Department of Education and that
participate in the statewide course numbering
system shall be awarded credit by the
receiving institution for courses satisfactorily
completed by the student at the previous
institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the
courses are judged by the appropriate
statewide course numbering system faculty
committees representing school districts,
public postsecondary educational institutions,
and participating nonpublic postsecondary
educational institutions to be academically
equivalent to courses offered at the receiving
institution, including equivalency of faculty
credentials, regardless of the public or
nonpublic control of the previous institution.
The Department of Education shall ensure
that credits to be accepted by a receiving
institution are generated in courses for which
the faculty possess credentials that are
comparable to those required by the
accrediting association of the receiving
institution. The award of credit may be limited
to courses that are entered in the statewide
course numbering system. Credits awarded
pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy
institutional requirements on the same basis
as credits awarded to native students.
Exceptions to the
General Rule for Equivalency
The following courses are exceptions to the
general rule for course equivalencies and may not
be transferable. Transferability is at the discretion of
the receiving institution:
A. Courses not offered by the receiving
institution.
B. Courses with the last three digits ranging
from 900–999 (e.g., ART 2905).
C. College preparatory and vocational
preparatory courses.
D. Internships, practica, clinical experiences,
and study abroad courses with numbers
other than those ranging from 900–999.
E. Applied performance or studio courses in
Art, Dance, Interior Design, Music and
Theatre.
F. Skills courses in Criminal Justice.
G. Graduate courses.
H. For courses at non-regionally accredited
institutions, courses offered prior to the
transfer date of the course.
Questions about the Statewide Course
Numbering System and appeals regarding course
credit transfer decisions should be directed to:
Office for Instruction, Building 2-210, Ocala
